ilovebees.com offline? No worry! Mirror is up

thebruce@forums.unfiction.com — Wed, 26 Nov 2014 02:03:45 +0000

So apparently recently ilovebees.com has become unresponsive. For reasons unknown (or at least made public) the site us not loading, as of this post.
This is a sad thing :(

But! There is a flash mirror of the site up already - at ilovebees.co
That's .com without the m.
Its only a static flash of the site, but it seems all content is in place.

[SPEC/NEWS] Major Nelson drops a very suspicious comment

Whoops, thanks Pixie. I should have remembered that. It's just been so long o.o

I do hope they reboot this though, I have such fond memories of the Sleeping Princess.

Also, ilovebees.com has another countdown timer set. Has that always been there? The timer appears to be counting down to a date several hundred years in the future.

Yep. Not new. It is counting down to 2552, which is the year in the future that everything takes place.

Alas, 1/17 has passed...

Hopes dashed, expectations fulfilled :P

You know, I saw that, even responded to it, but it never crossed my mind that to read it *that way*.

via Twitter:

I am fascinated by Bees. Their organization, resourcefulness, adaptability, navigation skills & contribution to nature is captivating

Wasps on the other hand? No thanks.

This, following a couple of other recent bits of news and interesting points...
* Elan Lee was last year brought on as Chief Design Officer at Xbox Entertainment Studios
* Sean Stewart was just brought on as Creative Director at Xbox Studios
* Joe Staten (Bungie) just returned to Microsoft Studios as Senior Creative Director (though not to 343 Industries directly)
...

Could we be seeing the start of something that may return to the little storyworld we tasted in 2004?

via twitter:

Something good, this way comes.

There are theories that MS/343 may have some news in store for Jan 17... you know, 1/17. :P

I guess we'll see in time. High hopes, but low expectations. =)

[OG] Happy 9th Birthday The Haunted Apiary!
